how mch run time shold i get from 1500 mah nimh battery.i am running a rooster and a 55 turn with a 19t pinion.i am only getting 20 min max.is ti because th 19 t pinion?thanks patrick
I run 6-cell 2/3 'C' 1500mah split packs, with a 14T pinion I got about 35-40 mins, I've put an 18T pinoin on and now I am getting about 25 mins out of the packs. I don't really mind the decrease in run time, I have a 65T motor that was painfully slow with the 14T pinion, now I can actually generate some wheel speed.
TCS (The Crawler Store) has 6, 7, 8 cell split packs w/dean's or tamaya plugsWhere is a good source for 2/3 C or Sub C batteries :?:
thanks
good to know!General Rules of Thumb
- More voltage = more speed but less runtime.
- More cells = more voltage
- Almost all 2/3 A cells are 1500 mah.
- No matter how many 2/3 A cells you use (voltage) the pack is still 1500 mah.
- Lower turn motor (handwound) = more speed and torque than a higher turn machne wound.
- Quality "faster" motors do not drain a battery as bad as a bigger pinion.
If someone is getting an hour out of 2/3A caells.... they drive like my grandma "thumbsup"
